very interesting, although its not yet clear how the consultation shall take place

the by-pass appears to be a core strategy

the 'old' a414 will then be downgraded to potentially single carraigeway, with the space capacity allocated to a bus/coach/tram arrangement. If it works, great, but worry is this just reinforces rat-running

Transport Hertford Strategic Solution HCC £155,000,000 -£175,000,00

Unfunded There is currently no funding agreed for this scheme.
This is most likely to be in the form of a bypass.

Here's the route as proposed in 1994. Yes it's been going on that long. See if you can work out how many expensive houses lie on the route. Among others it looks like it goes right through the Foxholes and Dawlicious farms.

Thanks for that - it is interesting and quite easy to read. Must say that (whilst not read in detail) the first fact that hit me was that Herts population density at mid-2017 (per hectare) was 7.19 against East of England 3.23 and England 4.27. Not sure building more roads and reducing the green spaces (which will also be being lost to housing) is going to solve anything but just create gridlock, more stress and loss of quality of life.
